IDRISID CONTEMPORARIES: Ma'zuz b. Talut, 838-839, AR dirham (1.57g), Ijerhan, AH224, A-433, citing the governor Muhammad beneath the obverse and with 'Abd Allah above and Ma'zuz b. Taluf beneath the reverse field, crinkled, F-VF, RR. Ma'zuz b. Talut has never been identified, but may well refer to Abu Talut, who was an important Kharijite officer during the late 1st century AH, probably in contact with Qatari b. al-Fuja'a (active 69-78, see type #33 of the Arab-Sasanians). All cite a local governor beneath the obverse, Hamdun at Watit, Muhammad, Wakil, Abi Hafs, 'Abd Allah, Muwaffaq, and probably others at Ijerhan. Dirhams of this type dated 223-224 are believed to have been authorized by the Mu'tazilite party, but it is conceivable that an undetermined Kharijite leader in Morocco might have adopted the name Talut as an honorific title.
